There must be more to this photo than meets the eye. Because surely no adult in their right mind would let a preschooler wander around freely so close to a cliff edge?!

Family dice with death taking young child to edge of Birling Gap cliff

Shocking pictures showed holidaymakers, dog walkers and even young children creeping to the sides of the crumbling cliffs in East Sussex for a scenic selfie - inches from a 530ft drop.

I hate heights and feel terrified just looking at it! Agree it’s dangerous for anyone to be that close to the edge but I do think it’s even less safe for young children, as they have less understanding of the dangers.

I don't think any of them has any sense, it isn't less safe for a toddler than an adult.

I really hope there is more to it. However I feel uneasy just looking at it. No reigns on toddler and no one has hands on them. Nothing to immediately restrain them if they make a run for it. It takes a second. And they’re quick little things when they want to be with no sense of danger at that age.
